Hemp Paper

adamti91 · Nov 8, 2007

One acre as hemp yields as much paper as FOUR acres of trees.

Hemp can be harvested 4 times a year.

Creates 1/5 the pollution of tree pulp paper.

1/4 the cost of tree pulp paper.

Hemp takes 90-100 days to mature (ready to be harvested and made into paper), whereas trees take 40-50 years.

Hemp paper is acid-free and does not yellow with age (the Constitution was written on hemp paper).

Well, you can smoke the female plant... don't know what to tell you if you're getting high off hemp. And yea, you can get high

Nope, same family, different plant. Not enough THC to get anyone high.

same plant... Weed has sexes. The weed we smoke is female, which has the majority of the THC and no seeds. If you smoke weed with seeds, it is because there was a male plant around while growing that "pollinated" the female plants. Hemp is the male marijuana plant.

True, it's all hemp. My bad, not clear enough. Cloth/paper hemp (are cloth and paper hemps different too?) different from smokin' hemp.

No, there's a bigger difference between the two than just sex (you are right about females having more THC in Marijuana) : http://azhemp.org/Archive/Package/Legal/legal.html

Alright, cloth and paper hemp is made from harvesting the male hemp plant. It's essentially the same thing as what you smoke, except the hemp that you harvest is the male, and what we smoke is the female. Same plant, it's just that male plants have such a low THC content you can't get high from smoking it. That's why bad weed has seeds in it, because there are males around the females when it is grown, so that the females actually get pollinated. Good strains (sensemilla

) of weed don't have seeds unless they are improperly grown.

It's the same plant still. The way breeders cross-breed strains to increase THC content, the same is done to DECREASE the potency of the male plants to a point where the THC content is under or around only 1% for industrial use.

If my words didn't seem to make sense, as they sometimes don't (coincidentally I think it has to do with the subject of this thread)... here are Wikipedia's:

There are broadly three groups of Cannabis varieties being cultivated today:

* Varieties primarily cultivated for their fibre, characterized by long stems and little branching, extreme red, yellow, blue of purple coloration, or thickness of stem and solid core called hemp cannabis oglalas & more generally called industrial hemp
* Varieties grown for seed from which hemp oil is extracted
* Varieties grown for medicinal, spiritual development, [or] recreational purposes.

A nominal if not legal distinction is often made between hemp, with concentrations of the psychoactive chemical THC far too low to be useful as a drug, and Cannabis used for medical, recreational, or spiritual purposes.

So... it's all marijuana, just different strains

Well, yes like a Great Dane and Dachsund are both dogs, but breeding has made them very different.
